Local work with Members

On this page you can find out about the extra local work that Inclusion North does with its Members.

We work with Members to help them reach their local targets. This
work is on top of the support Members get through our Workplan.

What we are doing now

Bradford Support Planning Champions

Kate
Fulton and Kathleen Ainsley (an Inclusion North Parent Advisor) have
been
supporting self-advocates, family members and people in the community
and
voluntary sector to understand self-directed support and design good
local
support for people who have individual budgets. The Support Planning
Champions will offer help to people and families who are planning and
creating their own support. This approach builds on peer support and
uses the experience of people and families.

Safeguarding and Hate Crime - good support for victims

We are working
in local areas to understand how people with learning disabilities can get the
right support from community groups and the justice system when they have
experienced disability hate crime or harassment.

We have helped the Tees-wide Safeguarding Board to work out how victims get the right support from the criminal
justice system, community supports and safeguarding.
